Creme Fraiche and Bacon Chicken Thighs
Delicious and easy Chicken Thigh Recipe with creme fraiche, leeks and garlic will serve well with mashed potatoes or pasta. I love simple chicken recipes and this one makes enough for 4 people.
Bacon adds a richness and depth of flavor and combines well with the leeks and garlic. This is also a good recipe for chicken breast if you prefer to use them instead of chicken thighs. It's a quick chicken dish and so it saves you time while still being full of flavor.

How to Cook Chicken Thighs with Creme Fraiche and Bacon
- Melt the butter and oil in a frying pan. Saute the crushed garlic clove for a minute then add the chicken thighs and fry until golden.
